Medium size yarn, two different colour. One colour for the base and the other one for the cake (light pink and white, for instance). Also we need red or pink yarn for the cherry and green yarn for the leaf.
Black yarn for embroidering the mouth.
Safety eyes
Crochet hook with a size suitable for the yarn size (4mm, for instance)
Tapestry needle
Toy filling

Base

With light pink yarn, 4mm size hook,
Round 1: 2 ch, sc 6 times in 2nd ch from hook (6)
Round 2: Sc twice in each st (12)
Round 3: *1 sc, 2 sc in next st*, repeat 6 times (18)
Round 4: *2 sc, 2 sc in next st*, repeat 6 times (24)
Round 5: Sc in each st, only in back loops (24)
Round 6: Sc in each st (24)
Round 7: *3 sc, 2 sc in next st*, repeat 6 times (30)
Round 8-9: Sc in each st (30)
Now it is a good moment to put the safety eyes and embroider the mouth.
Do not cut the thread. Change to cupcake colour (white, for instance).

With white yarn (the colour of the cake), 4mm size hook.
Start working in the front loops we left in round 10.
*5 d.c., skip 1 st., 1 sl. st., skip 1st.* repeat until finishing the contour of the cupcake.
Fasten off.

Sew the leaf to the bottom of the cherry.
Sew the cherry to the top of the cupcake.

Curious as to why you chose to work in back loops only in Round 5 of the base and Round 10 of the Cake in your pattern? These are the exact locations that I designed to work back loops only in my copyrighted published free cupcake pincushion pattern over a year ago. I developed these locations for very specific reasons for the purpose of the end product after trial and error of multiple end results. So what was the purpose you had for working in back loops only in your design? Very curious to know.

Hi, Niki.I don't understand very well your comment. I have decided to work in back loops in round 5 because I want the base to be 24 points and in that very moment I need to grow, so it's the perfect moment. If I had wanted a base of 30 points, I had chosen to make the back loops in round 6 (no mistery, only maths!).

The same for round 10.I decided the tall of the base making some proofs, and at that moment I need a round of back loops for the ribbon. It could have be round 10, or round 9, or round 11, it only depends on how tall you want the base of the cupcake.

I don't know you, I don't even know if you have a blog, and I can assure you I haven´t had a look at your work. This is a very easy pattern, and with a few maths basis everyone can obtain it, and I'm sure there are thousand of patterns nearly the same in the web.
